Add images for a course or learning path

Elizabeth
  • Updated

Summary

As a part of your course settings, upload up to 3 images to represent a course or learning path, and set 1 image as a thumbnail.

Image features are available to all customers.

Use JPEG or PNG image formats for best results.

For course and learning path images:

  • ratio is 16:9
  • minimum recommended size is 800 x 450 px

You can use LearnUpon’s cropping tool to resize large images.

See Image sizes overview: logos, course images and certificates for guidance about all images.

Tip: see LearnUpon's Web accessibility statement: WCAG 2.0 and 508 standards.

Image ratio change: from 3:2 to 16:9

As LearnUpon updates its interface to meet customer needs better, the ratio of course images is changing from 3:2 to 16:9.

The 16:9 aspect ratio is the current standard for HD (high definition) video content, and is typical for TVs, laptops, tablets, phones, and computer screens. This ratio fits more image content horizontally, allows room for text, and requires less scrolling on a page.

This change is part of the development of the learner Home, My Learning and Catalog pages.

See Announcement: LearnUpon Redesign Guide .

For existing course and learning path images: LearnUpon will automatically crop images in customer portals so they meet this standard.

The following screenshots illustrate the change from 3:2 to 16:9 ratio: the shaded areas are cropped from the existing images.

Note: If you use text or an overlay in your course images, this change could affect your resulting image.

You can upload new images for courses at any time, without re-versioning the course.
